Hello Community,

I need help creating an OnChange client script that adds business days to a date field based on a category selection, while skipping weekends (Saturday and Sunday).

Requirements:

  • When category = "Hardware" → Add 5 business days to the date field
  • When category = "Software" → Add 10 business days to the date field
  • Weekends (Saturday and Sunday) should be excluded from the count
  • Date field name: u_date

What I've tried: I've attempted using GlideDateTime() with addDaysLocalTime(), but I'm not sure how to properly implement the weekend-skipping logic and ensure only business days are counted.
